Pimm's

$$

Since the 1960s, this basement restaurant in the historic center has offered Tropea's top seafood dining experience, with such specialties as pasta with monkfish and almond pesto, smoked swordfish and prawns on red Tropea onions, and gnocchi filled with tiny clams and creamed pistachio nuts. The splendid sea views from the rear windows (ask for the tavolo in nicchia panoramica) are a surprising—and substantial—reason to head here. There are also five guest rooms on-site.
